Hi Brian, they seem fine are they more visible on your screen now?

Yes Michael, they are more legible on my large screen. The size increase is not a lot, but it makes a big difference for my legibility.

I copied them over to MoI4 .ui as well, same positive result.
From: bemfarmer
I also copied the 6 files over to MoI3, ui file after renaming default names to *BAK.png.
Legibility with MoI3 is improved for my 4k monitor.
The images are still 64 X 64 pixels. Less pixels are transparent.
An earlier quick attempt to just quadruple the pixels to 128 X 128, without enlarging the non-transparent pixel image, did not seem to change size or legibility.
Memory use goes up. No plans at present to make any further attempts at much larger edit frame controls.
The MoI5 beta, improved legibility for 28", "4k" monitor, applies to both Dark and Default color themes.
(Did not try putting the modifications in either Theme folder. I see that I have a Theme folder in AppData, and also in MoI4beta ui file.)

Note: Remarks apply to 4K monitor.
For example, GripRotation.png:
If all versions of the associated former PNG in the ui folder for MoI5beta, are renamed *.BAK the control does not show up in the Edit Frame.
(Absent copies in either of the two theme folders.)
For MoI5beta:
A revised PNG for an element of the Edit Frame can be placed in AppData > "MyCurrentThemeFolder".
Or else in MoI5beta folder > ui > Theme folder for original MoI themes Default, Dark, and also the green one.
If a new instance of MoI5beta is then opened, under a different Theme, with a different version of GripRotation,
the two versions of GripRotation.png may be visually compared, side by side.
For example, if original GripFrame.png is placed in MoI5beta > ui > Dark,
it overrides the modified PNG version in MoI5beta > ui. (Stated as fact, unless I am mistaken.)
(Note, my custom MoI5beta themes are in the AppData themes folder.)
Legibility of the GripFrame's is obviously better. (4K monitor)
Legibility of the GripRotation's is better, but just a little, as the size increase for the non-transparent pixels was slight.

I tried a 128 X 128 pixel PNG, with enlarged GripRotation, but it did not seem to be better than modified 64 X 64 pixel version. ???
I'm not sure how the mapping works. ??? Larger transparent pixel map. A larger invisible object looks the same as a smaller invisible object :-) ???
